I designed this for KA's Peter Weitenberg nearly a year ago and the boys have finally built it. It is a slightly detuned 70 wide slalom board based on my Blue Cheeky Monkey board that Stuart built me. It has the same outline and rocker except for a slightly narrower tail, rather than the center concave V it has a more conventional V to double concave bottom and fairly simple cutouts.

Chris Korowaty the carbon Guru at the mXr factory in Poland built it, could not tell you the exact layup. Peter should have it today in the Netherlands and hopefully have a test report for you soon.Ignore the graphics, a bit of a cock up, was meant to be an Orange version of my blue board like the sketch below.I think it will be a really nice board.

Peter sent a few more photos. I had to open the CAD file to take a look last night and remember what the board was like, actually been well over 12 months since I did it.Looks like Kris has done a nice job.The Netherlands will have no wind now for a month, the curse of the new board.
